Scholarships at the University of Mannheim

Scholarships make an important contribution to a program of
study. It is not just the financial aspect that is interesting, but also the
non-material support that accompanies it. A scholarship that is used
efficiently can provide important support when beginning a career.

The scholarship system at the University of Mannheim was
developed in 2007. Currently, around 250 students receive funding. The
University of Mannheim has one of the most differentiated scholarship systems
among public higher education institutions in Germany, and cooperates with a
large network of partners and sponsors. Students can benefit and gain diverse experience
from this network. As well as the financial support, students are given
important networking opportunities. Additionally, there are scholarships that
are awarded independently.

A separate application process is in place for each
scholarship through which students and degree applicants can apply for a grant.

The
University of Mannheim has awarded Deutschland Scholarships amounting to €300 per month since 2011. This scholarship is aimed at students and those beginning their studies.

The Opportunity Mannheim Scholarship from the University of Mannheim Foundation supports students who are dedicated to their studies but find themselves in difficult financial situations and wants to help them overcome financial obstacles on their way to a degree.

The Mannheim Sports Scholarship supports students who practice
competitive sports. In addition to financial aid, the program includes
support from mentors and student tutors.

Every semester, the city of Mannheim awards three students with €150 per
month scholarship as a symbol of its special bond with the University.

The Association of Arts and Culture of the German Economy conveys
cultural competences and insights into creative processes to outstanding
students from the University of Mannheim. Conversations with renowned artists, art agents
and academics take place throughout
the year.

A range of further funding opportunities is available to all students at
German higher education institutions. These scholarships are not
exclusively available to students of the University of Mannheim.
Examples include scholarships offered by the German Academic Scholarship
Foundation or political foundations.

The University of Mannheim would like to thank all sponsors
and funding organizations
